Waterborne diseases

post disaster rehabilitation project in coastal areas of my home country, Bangladesh. I observed the importance of safe drinking water when the 2007 cyclone “SIDR” contaminated about seventy percent of water sources resulting an outbreak of waterborne diseases in affected communities. I saw the challenges of providing basic services to the victims which motivated me to pursue my career in this field. I am a Civil and Environmental Engineer by training with a MS in Water Resources Development (WRD)

Exposure to some metals, such as mercury and lead, may also cause development of autoimmunity, in which a person's immune system attacks its own cells. This can lead to joint diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, and diseases of the kidneys, circulatory system, and nervous system (Health Risks of Heavy Metals).” Coming from this statement, we come to realize some of the life-threatening effects of surface water pollution. A lot of the countries who

The poor people are mostly the ones that suffer from air pollution, they live and worked in the inner cities where the disease was mostly active (Merchant, 120). Smoke was the number one pollution in the towns where coal burning industries were located. Women was mostly very concerned

In the following paper many of the biggest environmental issues will be discussed. Complications that derived from human’s ill-treatment to the planet. Take, water for example, our basic necessity of life, yet millions of people do not have access to clean and sanitary water due to pollution; resulting in millions of people worldwide dying from drinking unsanitary water. Global warming itself due to the illnesses and the accommodations that it would demand will eventually cause the lives of all living

What is the one thing that all humans can agree on? Clean water. Then why are roughly 844 million people around the world living without access to clean water? (UN Water) As simple as it may seem, there are complex layers that have overlapped for generations, leading to an endless cycle of poverty. The scarcity of water contributes to issues in health, education, and poverty. Water impacts nearly every aspect of life; however, the most shocking fact is that we already have the solutions to provide

water supply at Broad Street. These days, epidemiologists and scientists use meters or technology to test the groundwater. However, John Snow had no other choice but to drink-test it himself; this was his method that led him to discover water-borne diseases. From this, we can learn how much John Snow was devoted to discovering better health for the communities. When John Snow gathered his data, he knew that eliminating differences in location or other factors would mess the result of the study. Rather

what it can do.) II. Body A. Main Point: Third world countries lack accessibility to clean water exposing them to disease and harmful toxins that result in 2.4 million deaths annually (Bartram, 2010). 1. Drinking unclean water can result in the contraction of diseases, sickness, and even death. According to Unicef.org, diarrhea, arsenicosis, cholera, and fluorosis are three main diseases that can arise from drinking unclean

Introduction One of the most studied phenomena in political science is how some countries were able to develop into rich nations while some remained underdeveloped and poor. While the answer to this important question is so unique and complex that it may never be answered, there are some policies that may help a country to develop. One of which is the proper use of foreign aid. Bolivia, like many of the counties in Latin America, is considered to be an LDC with its deeply rooted issued of severe
